The blood of his body recoiled before it. The blood was alive, like the dog, and like the dog, it wanted to hide away and cover

itself up from the fearful cold. So long as he walked four miles an hour, he pumped that blood, willy-nilly, to the surface; but now it ebbed away and sank down into the recesses of his body. The extremities were the first to feel its absence.
–“To Build a Fire,”
Jack London

Essay on why death sentence should be brought back​
Harman [31]

Answer:

It makes it impossible for criminals to do bad things over and over again. Executing someone permanently stops the worst criminals and means we can all feel safer, as they can't commit any more crimes. If they were in prison they might escape, or be let out for good behaviour.

Having a functional death penalty law will help us protect the public from society's worst criminals and bring some measure of closure to the families whose loved ones were cruelly taken from them.

”Introduction to capital punishment

Capital punishment is the practice of executing someone as punishment for a specific crime after a proper legal trial. It can only be used by a state, so when non-state organisations speak of having 'executed' a person they have actually committed a murder.
